Church Education System Schools Offer Spiritual and Scholastic Growth By Merry Gordon
S
ummer is around the corner… and for many students, so are decision about college. “For members of the Church, education is not merely a good idea—it’s a commandment,” said President Dieter F. Uchtdorf. The Church takes that commitment to higher education seriously. While other institutions uphold Latter-day Saint values, only four are considered part of the Church Education System (CES) network: the three campuses of Brigham Young Uni-
versity (Provo, Idaho and Hawaii) and LDS Business College. The schools have many things in common, including certain admission policies: all member applicants to CES schools are reviewed based on church endorsements, academic achievement and seminary attendance and graduation. Upon acceptance, students must adhere to an honor code in keeping with Church standards that includes moral uprightness, dress and groomPhoto courtesy of Jaren Wilkey [CC BY-SA (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)]

ing standards, meeting attendance and abstinence from substances prohibited against by the Word of Wisdom, among other things. Unsurprisingly, the Princeton Review places BYU #1 on their list of “Stone-Cold Sober Schools”—but for students looking for a spiritual
learning environment instead of a party school, CES schools are hard to beat. Brigham Young University For students seeking a full CES experience, Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, is an obvious choice. It is the oldest of the Church-sponsored schools and the only NCAA school, with an enrollment of over 30,000 students studying over 100 majors. Acceptance is somewhat competitive—the school accepts on average 60% of its over 10,000 applicants—and it offers tuition at $2,895 per semester for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. That’s a bargain—in fact, Forbes named BYU its Best Value College of 2019.
BYU - Hawaii is an island paradise.
Attendance at BYU is often a family legacy, with generations bonding together over memories of time at the Y. Jim Hepfinger, current president of the BYU Alumni Association, Phoenix Chapter, has fond memories of his time at the Y in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Then a practicing Lutheran, he enrolled because of BYU’s reputation for academics, and because “I didn’t want to go to a party school,” he says. Within a few years he was serving a mission. “I liked the big school nature,” he recalls. “I loved the big football games, but then I observed all these boys on the dorm floor and saw
this amazing change happen in some of them. They were ready to go on missions.” This spiritual center is what he thinks draws people to BYU. “[President] Dallin H. Oakes was the president of the school when I enrolled,” he says. “There were general authorities speaking all the time, devotionals…even now when I go to Education Week, Continued on pg. 6

After joining the state bar of Arizona and spending several years in private legal practice, she is now a legal policy advisor at the Corporation Commission. Jacqueline has a vested interest in giving back to the state that she loves and using her education and training to ensure that Arizona remains the conservative, safe, and affordable stronghold that the citizens deserve. She is asking for your vote on August 4th in this winner-take-all primary election.
“I am pleased to endorse Jacqueline Parker for the Arizona state legislature. Her vast policy experience has already brought common sense solutions to the state.

there’s just something about it.” Hepfinger and his wife, also a BYU grad, have worked with the BYU Alumni Association in Virginia and Arizona to “spread the spirit of the Y,” as they put it. BYU is particularly known for its cultural outreach programs, and the BYU Alumni Association has played host to Living Legends, Young Ambassadors, and the BYU International Folk Dance Ensemble, among others. Brigham Young UniversityIdaho Exciting things are happening in Idaho. BYU’s Idaho campus in the Snake River Valley, with over 34,000 students, is booming—but so is its online program, which has 15,000 people from all over the world. Offering 87 bachelor’s degrees on campus and 11 online bachelor’s degrees, BYU-I is a great fit for students who need flexibility. For even more flexibility, BYU-I operates on a track system with three semesters: fall, winter, and spring, all 14 weeks; students are admitted to a two-semester track upon acceptance with the option for “flex semesters” to keep them engaged. Tuition for members is $2,104 a semester, making it one of the most affordable options around, and the acceptance rate is well above 90%. For a big school, the former Ricks College is renowned for its small school appeal. “Forget the auditorium class,” the university’s website says, citing that on average BYU-I classes are roughly half the size of their counterparts at state schools. Sarah Pugh, originally

from Arizona, is a recent graduate in the nursing program at BYU-I. “I loved being able to develop personal relationships with my professors and having small class sizes,” she says. Pugh says that she felt like her professors were invested in her education and took the time to answer questions. Free tutoring sessions for all courses were a bonus: “That really got me through the nursing program!” Brigham Young University-Hawaii The appeal of BYU-Hawaii is obvious—who wouldn’t want to study on an island paradise with the Polynesian Cultural Center nearby? But the Laie campus school, which supports about 3,000 degree-seekers (46% of whom are international students), offers so much more than tropical scenery, like a low student-to-faculty ratio and majors in 25 fields. Founded in the 1950s, BYU-H prides itself on combining “solid moral roots with legacies of evolving academics and interwoven cultures.” Of the Church-sponsored schools, BYU-H is the most selective, averaging about a 30 - 40% acceptance rate according to several college profiles, and full-time tuition for members ranges from $1,907 to $2,860 depending on the semester (fall and winter are 12+ credits, while spring semester is 8+).

BYU-H “mostly because it’s in Hawaii,” she jokes. Her time at BYU-H included a summer teaching internship in Thailand, and Bennett notes that “what I liked best about the school is the diversity they offer. The main goal of the school is to accept students from all
over the world . . . and for me it was such an eye-opening experience to get to learn about so many different cultures and people.” Echoing that sentiment, “I see a university that is intended to be not only ‘a school in Zion’ but a Zion Continued on pg. 9

School’s Out FOR Gatherings OLD SUPERIOR HIGH SCHOOL CONFERENCE CENTER
Kimball Stake’s 2019 Youth Conference – Hope of Israel, hosted at the Old Superior High School. Photo by Jenny Evans
By Allison Beckert
I
n the last few years the Church has placed a huge emphasis on youth activities, learning, and responsibility. Stake youth activities supporting Church direction require unique facilities to host many kids for long enough to make a conference worthwhile. One special venue for such events in Arizona is the Old High School in city of Superior. Old Superior High School had its first graduating class in 1929, and its final class graduated in 2000. After the property changed to private hands in 2003, and the location was restored to a sound state with plumbing upgrades and repairs to the damage caused by time and the elements, a few blocks of classroom and office space were converted to living areas. The old office is now a living room, several bedroom suites are nestled among the halls of classrooms, and the home economics classroom, complete with a few original student workstations, now serves as a domestic kitchen. The gym, with its secure windows, original floor and functioning bleachers, still has the Superior Panthers’ pawprints circling the walls.
The campus can comfortably host overnight groups of up to 500 people, with classrooms converted to sleeping areas for young men and young women, and for leaders’ use. Feeding large groups is a challenge; however, previous groups have used the north tennis court, an outdoor preparation area, and a house near it—affectionately called “the cook house”—to meet the culinary needs of the youth. Groups must provide their own cooking supplies, storage and equipment. Several areas on campus can be used during conferences for activities and programs. The largest indoor space is the school gym. Up to 500 people can sit in gym bleachers, and more on the floor in camp chairs to listen to speakers or other programs. With the bleachers put away, the space is large enough for sports or team building activities. A few other rooms, including the old media center, can be used for smaller breakout groups. The campus has working electricity, but has no internet connectivity nor Wi-Fi. So digital programming must

as certification programs in business and industry knowledge. Tuition is $144 per credit for students under 11 credit hours or over 18, but from 12-18 credits, semester tuition is $1,720. Michele Snyder, a 2013 AAS graduate originally from Arizona but now living in Utah, went to LDSBC. “It was interesting in that the student population was smaller than [my high school],
but far more diverse,” she says. “There were a lot of things I loved about LDSBC—living in Salt Lake City, devotionals, sharing the same experience with the same people.” As in any Church school, the emphasis on spiritual learning was strong. “It took some getting used to, to talk about Heavenly Father in an accounting class, but I for sure benefited from
Spirit-led learning,” Snyder says. CES schools are consistently topnotch in national rankings and offer students the chance to merge their scholastic and spiritual goals. To apply to any of the Church schools, visit https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/ church-education/apply-to-churchschools or visit individual college websites.

Tanner in a 2015 inaugural address, “a place where people from many nations learn together in purity, peace, unity, and love.” LDS Business College Of all the Church-sponsored schools, the two-year LDS Business College in Salt Lake City is the smallest. To its student body of under 1,000, 99% of whom are Latter-day Saints, the school offers AAS (Associate of Applied Science) and AS (Associate of Science) degrees as well

Tombstone Craftwomen
By Merry Gordon
The Gravestone Girls Turn Genealogy Into Art
B
renda Sullivan spends much of her time with dead people. This is fine by her—it’s just another day on the job. But Brenda is no mortician or pathologist. She is the founder of Massachusetts-based Gravestone Girls, a team of craftswomen who use old New England tombstones to create art with a genealogical twist. Together with her friends, Maggie White and Melissa Anderson, Brenda brings the past to life through whimsical and detailed casts of old American funerary art. With increased interest in family history, connecting with our ancestors helps us to understand who they were and what they valued. “The images on those colonial period grave markers directly spoke to the population about their morality and mortality,” says Brenda. Such tombstones could reach both the literate and the illiterate in early modern America. She talks about the “strict orthodoxy” that influenced their culture and “influenced the images on tombstones as a picture language to easily and quickly remind the living of their obligation to preserve the cleanliness of their immortal soul by their contributions in this world.” Early gravestones are richly symbolic, featuring recognizable symbols such as hourglasses, angels, weeping willows and skulls. Less familiar are the bats on Susanna Jayne’s 1778 tombstone from Marblehead, Massachusetts, for example, or the coffincarrying imps on the 1700 tombstone of Peter Tufts in Malden. The designs are as varied as they are beautiful and many have a primitive charm. Rather than attempting to replicate a tombstone in full, the Gravestone Girls often highlight the handiwork of master carvers by creating castings which feature detail work from a particular stone.

Castings are available in various finishes, from “Afterlife Almond” to “Black Plague.” Though their color choices may show a tongue-in-cheek humor, the Gravestone Girls are professionals who take history seriously—every item comes with a reference card giving information about the person, death date, cemetery location and symbolism. The Gravestone Girls draw from historic stones in the New England area, though they can produce custom pieces from ancestors’ tombstones upon request. With a background in preservation and conservation, the Gravestone Girls are mindful of these past treasures and use processes which ensure the safety of the tombstones. They only cast from structurally sound stones and always obtain permission from cemeteries. Their casting material is nontoxic and does not use oils, harsh chemicals or abrasives, and they’re quick to clean
every gravestone “to ensure no trace of our presence is left behind.” When asked about her preoccupation with the cemetery, Brenda points out that their varied clientele shows they’re not alone. “When I encounter cemetery lovers, they often think they’re alone in the genre or part of a finite group of appreciators, which couldn’t be farther from the truth,” she says. “Our beloved customers are oddities collectors, genealogists, historians, archaeologists, librarians, anthropologists, moms, grandmothers, folks who live next to cemeteries and many more.” In addition to their product offerings, the Gravestone Girls teach classes in the New England area on gravestone rubbing and lecture on the symbolism and history of cemetery art. Go online at gravestonegirls.com to see a catalogue of available pieces and learn more about their process.

MEET JOAN GREENE Q: Please tell the readers about your background and preparation for the office you are seeking. I am an Arizona native and I grew up in central Phoenix. I went to Sunnyslope High and graduated from the University of Arizona with a degree in Psychology. I am a small business owner who started my business with only $500, which was enough money for stationery and business cards. I am proud to say I am celebrating my 33rd year in business. During this time, I have worked with sole proprietors, Main Street businesses and billion-dollar companies. The businesses have one thing in common, they all had a problem and I helped them solve it. I am fiscally responsible and fiscally smart. The skills and proven strategies I have used in my business of 33 years will be the skills I use to put us back on the path for prosperity and security for everyone. I have the business experience to grow the economy. I know what our kitchen table problems are, and I will provide realistic solutions. I have the foresight to know our problems of today are not the problems of tomorrow. We need a Congresswoman who is proactive and not reactive. I am very involved in animal rescue and giving back to our Community. I started a second company that raises money and awareness for nonprofits. I also volunteered for Hospice of the Valley as a Pet Therapy Team with my Golden Retriever until he passed away. I believe we need more compassion in government.

Q: What are the local issues the people in your district view as needing to be addressed? Well, there are many! Affordable healthcare that covers pre-existing conditions. Strengthening Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Lower drug prices. Jobs that pay a livable wage. Quality, affordable education so our children have opportunities to succeed. Environmental protection which includes jobs for the now and the future. Keeping our public lands public. Not using our Veterans and their families as photo ops while voting against them. Q: Would you put this district in the Liberal Progressive, Pragmatic Progressive Camp, or Centrist? I would label this as the Human District. We all want opportunities and financial security for our families. This includes quality education, affordable healthcare, lower drug prices, livable wages, affordable housing and a secure retirement. We want Country before Party and we want to get rid of the corruption that is and has been part of government for far too long. These are not partisan issues but every human’s issues.” I consider myself a pragmatic, financially responsible moderate Democrat who believes you must be open to new ideas and have the skills to look at issues and problems from all angles. The world is changing so fast we cannot solve tomorrow’s problems using yesterday’s outdated thinking.

How One Woman’s Passion for Spiritual & Physical Wellness is Empowering Women Everywhere
T
oday’s society puts a peculiar pressure on women. More than ever, women are expected to be more, achieve more, and smile more, all without chipping a nail. Such impossible expectations have taken their toll on the daughters of God, and many of us find ourselves in trying situations because of it. “My passion is helping women,” says Camille Smith, of the Bridlegate Ward in the Highland East Stake. Originally from Chicago, Camille has lived in Arizona for over sixteen years and has been teaching health and fitness classes almost as long. She received a degree in psychology from BYU, where she met her husband. They were married in 1989 and they have three children. Her life experiences as a fitness coach and mother, along with her background in psychology (in addition to many other qualifications), have turned Camille into the ideal person to inspire women
to become better and happier versions of themselves—and that’s just what she plans to do. Camille’s multi-faceted business, You Unlimited, offers several options for women who are looking for a boost. Christ-Centered Yoga: Camille has been a yoga instructor since 2015, and began teaching Christ-centered yoga in 2016. In 2019, she debuted her own Christ-centered yoga program, “Restoration Yoga: Move Your Body in Faith,” which works in tandem with

the other services provided through You Unlimited. Camille’s yoga classes incorporate the teachings of the Savior with traditional hatha yoga poses. At this time, classes are offered three times a week. While Camille is currently teaching in a Gilbert studio, her full curriculum will be available online this spring, making its spiritual and physical benefits accessible to everyone everywhere. Group Mentoring: in addition to Christ-centered yoga, Camille is also
certified in reiki and hypnotherapy. Her skills and her passion for helping women have guided Camille down the path to leading group mentoring and coaching sessions. The classes meet once a week for six weeks and aim to help women eliminate resentment, find their authentic selves, increase confidence, learn to be comfortable with the uncomfortable and more. The participants also have homework assignments Continued on pg. 17

Legacy of Faith Tours An Amazing Journey Through Church History
R
inda Updike is a self-proclaimed “Church history nerd.” A sixth generation Arizonan, she was one of the first young sister missionaries called to serve at the Hill Cumorah historical sites. While there, she compiled the early Church history study curriculum for her fellow site sisters. She’s also taught seminary in both Arizona and Utah. As someone who had studied Church history in depth, she started to notice there were more opportunities available for people to take historical tours from Utah. For almost 15 years, she’d contemplated doing something similar in Arizona. Her Legacy of Faith Tours was created to fill that need: finally, there would be a Church history expedition organization originating in Arizona. About 5 years ago, Rinda contacted a friend and mentor who had launched similar trips out of Las Vegas, and she became an apprentice of sorts, riding on the tours and learning the ins and outs of the business. A year later, she was ready to form what she nicknamed “The Guinea Pig Tour” and invited a few close friends on the first trip.

Young Church-Service Missionaries Serve as “Savior’s Hands”
W
illing and worthy, but unable to participate as proselyting missionaries because of “physical or emotional health reasons or for other considerations,” dozens of young men and women across the Phoenix metro area have been called as young Churchservice missionaries. These missionaries are becoming a formidable force for good, using their unique talents and abilities to minister in countess ways, including assignments with approved charitable organizations, such as refugee and homeless services, food banks, etc.; with Church operations, such as in the temple, Bishop’s Storehouse or Family History Centers; and in stake-assigned opportunities, such as assisting the elderly. Elder Charles Steadman and his wife, Sister Therese Steadman, who serve as the Arizona Tempe-Chandler Service Mission Leaders, explain that these missionaries also are expected to look for additional opportunities to serve, regularly attend Church meetings, attend the temple as often as possible, and participate in weekly district meetings and other mission activities. Sister Steadman adds, “We remind them that they are expected to understand and abide by the stated Service Missionary Purpose, ‘to help others come unto Christ by serving them as the Savior would.…We will minister in His name to the one, just as He did, expressing His loving kindness.’” She says what began as a pilot program in Gilbert and other select areas was adopted for use across North America beginning January 2, 2019.
A letter from the First Presidency addressed all stake, mission and district presidents, bishops and branch presidents in the United States and Canada, stating that all young missionary candidates were to use the same online recommendation process, including the
required evaluations by medical professionals. Then, the letter states, “Under the direction of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, each prospective missionary who qualifies will receive a call that best suits him or her.”

In addition to performing Church and community service, young service missionaries, like those from the Arizona TempeChandler Service Mission pictured here at the Gilbert Temple, are expected to participate in regular service, attend their Sunday meetings and attend the temple as often as possible.
Service missionaries live at home and serve as close to full-time as their circumstances allow, with young women ages 19-25 serving for 6 to 18 months and young men ages 18-25 serving for 6 to 24 months. Elder Julian Arellano, who was initially called to a proselyting mission, but, after experiencing health issues was reassigned as a service missionary, says, “I felt like I failed the Lord. But after being reassigned as a service missionary, I knew He still needed my help.…Being able to serve is a wonderful thing. It’s drawn me closer to the Lord.” The Steadmans refer to instruction from Church leaders, saying members need to come to understand that “a service mission is an acceptable offering to the Lord, when a proselyting mission is not possible. Therefore, referring to a proselyting mission as a ‘real mission,’ ‘normal mission’ or ‘traditional mission’ is inaccurate and should be avoided.” “These service missionaries are amazing,” Sister Steadman says. “We have been taught that we have got to move outside the chapel doors to teach of Jesus Christ. Service missionaries are out there. They are His hands.” More information can be found in the January 2019 Ensign article, “All Who Have a Desire to Serve” and online at churchofjesuschrist.org/ service-missionary.

Prep Your Missionary
Mission papers sent off? Great! Now what? There are plenty of things you can do to prepare spiritually, physically, emotionally, and financially while waiting for that all-important call packet. Check in with us for tips, tricks, and useful resources for preparing missionaries and their families.
Preparing for Companionship Success
C
ompanionship pairings and developing a companion relationship are some of the unique features of a proselytizing mission. Since it’s common to wonder what a mission your companion will be like and if you’ll get along, remember that your future companions are wondering the same things. Taking some time to understand how a companionship works, and how to make a good one when preparing to meet your first companion is good missionary prep. A companion is a teammate. Goals, lesson plans and even housekeeping are a team effort. Preach My Gospel outlines the process for the daily and weekly planning sessions. The planning process is most effective when both companions contribute and communicate. Presenting lessons effectively is also based on companions working together on daily study. In most chapters of Preach My Gospel, there
are several ideas for companionship study, including ideas not just for effective lessons but also for building one another’s testimonies. Companions help one another. Each companionship is encouraged to help each other with personal goals and challenges. Mission life is challenging and full of change. As soon as an area or companion becomes familiar, a new transfer often changes everything. This is all the more reason to invest in your

relationship with your companion. The “Adjusting to Missionary Life” booklet, released in 2013, encourages companions to review their challenges together and be a resource to one another when mission life get stressful or challenging. Companions are also responsible for keeping one another accountable to mission standards, including the use of technology. Details on this direction may be found in the new handbook, and in the “Safeguards for Using Technology” booklet. Companionship connecting is one of the best feelings experienced on a mission, but it doesn’t always come naturally. A missionary companionship is often one of the most intense working partnerships between two people due to each having different backgrounds and life experiences. Such a situation creates an immediate opportunity to practice and develop Christlike attributes for personal growth. One of the most useful chapters of Preach My Gospel is the section “How Do I Develop Christlike Attributes?”. Developing these traits is one of the best ways to improve companion relationship. A successful companionship requires a blend of humility and courage. Learning to recognize when to speak up, when to support, and when to stand ground takes time, and the benefits to the missionary and their mission area of developing a successful companionship are huge.

“With the blessings of modern technology, we can express gratitude and joy about God’s great plan for His children in a way that can be heard not only around our workplace but around the world. Sometimes a single phrase of testimony can set events in motion that affect someone’s life for eternity. The most effective way to preach the gospel is through example. If we live according to our beliefs, people will notice. If the countenance of Jesus Christ shines in our lives, if we are joyful and at peace with the world, people will want to know why.”

short trip. Under-packing, on the other hand, lends to an unkempt appearance or frustratingly limited outfit choices. Preparing for each trip can be mentally straining as you try to predict which issue you would rather be faced with: having too much or too little? The following tips will help you find a happy medium: light luggage with plenty of clothing options. Tip 1: Pack Layers When choosing outfits for a trip, look for items that can be worn separately as well as together. This allows room for more formal or less formal looks as well as warmer or cooler outfits. Look for one or two cardigans or light jackets, and limit yourself to one heavier layer. Layers can also help if clothing gets soiled but needs to be worn again. A shirt turned inside out can be layered with a cardigan and go unnoticed. A light jacket or neutral decorative scarf can cover up stains or spills. These layers can add to your appearance when accidents occur that would usually limit wardrobe choices.

Tips for Traveling Light
Tip 2: Neutral Bottoms One key to packing light is to limit the number of bulky items like jeans. Bottoms should be neutral in color; this enables them to be paired with every top packed. Keep in mind that darker colors can hide spills or stains. When traveling with young kids or on a trip where eating on-the-go is a must, dark

bottoms can hide some of the common mishaps. On trips where washing machines are not available, darker bottoms can often be spot-washed in sinks and left out to dry overnight without looking too disheveled. Khaki or lightcolored pants tend to be less forgiving. Tip 3: Roll The go-to method of packing the most amount of clothing items into a single bag is to roll, not fold. Rolling each item individually allows small corners to be filled. Each item can be shaped around the bag or toiletries for a snug and compact fit. Sometimes rolling jeans or bulky items seems illogical, but it always works! The very top layer of items can be lain out flat across the top if needed, but many layers of rolled clothing can fit into your bag, allowing you to plan fun mix-andmatch outfits or even fit in some bright belts, and extra pair of shoes, or other favorite accessories. Pack smart, and it’s bon voyage! — you’re looking great.

id you know Americans throw away more than 300 million pairs of shoes every year, according to the U.S. Department of the Interior? When these shoes find themselves in the landfill, they sometimes take 30 to 40 years to decompose. Did you also know a cobbler isn’t just a pie, but someone who fixes shoes? Before you throw away your next pair of shoes, think again. Could they be repaired? Taking them to the repair shop might be less expensive than you think and add a few more miles to your shoes. At A Gnome’s Shoe Repair in

Are your sandal straps broken? Don’t throw them in the dumpster, bring them to the cobblers! Isaac has been working in the shoe repair business nearly all his life, starting in his grandparents’ shop when he was twelve.

engaging two-part ancestor mapping activity this past year to help youth connect with their family history. Part one would be helping the youth choose a country by having each youth research, identify and mark on a map one of their ancestral lines that had immigrated to the United States. Youth consultant Jonathan Crow had the idea for all the lines to hook into one pin on the map at Chandler—a nod to unity and to show the path each of their families took to end up here together. The night of the activity youth and leaders used the fan chart view on FamilySearch.org or went into the Family Tree app and clicked on people in their pedigree chart, noting the birth locations going back on one of their lines. They took turns at the map and plotted each location with a map pin, then used thread to connect to the pins, and eventually landing overseas in most cases. Young Women President Becky

Fillerup noted, “It was inspiring to see their level of excitement and involvement increase over the course of the activity. Youth who initially came into opening exercises with a lukewarm attitude about the night’s plans were fully engaged with the project.” 18-year-old John Lane ended up mapping two ancestral lines. “I was curious to see where my ancestors
came from, so this activity was pretty interesting to me,” he remarked. “My favorite part of the activity was being able to physically trace my line back on the map because it really helped me to appreciate what my ancestors did and what they had to go through for me to be where I am today.”

ily secret, a friend asked if he was alright with having another family. “No,” I tell her. “Not really. For fifty-seven years, I lived with a stable concept of what is family. Then overnight, I find out my family image is wrong. Rather than being a part of two families, I feel that I don’t belong to either.” Growing up, Lindsay was often jokingly referred to by family members as “the milkman’s son” because he didn’t look like anyone else in the family. However, he thought he knew his place in the world. Years later, his dad surprised him by sharing a dream where deceased relatives visited him, requesting that he research his family history. He asked Lindsay to do it. This set off many years of research and the unraveling of Lindsay’s identity. “As the family historian, I wanted to connect to my Lindsays in Ireland and took a DNA test which revealed that I’m not actually a Lindsay,” Lindsay says. The Milkman’s Son takes readers on a journey with emotional twists and turns as Lindsay learns about and uses
many new research tools available, including DNA testing. Lindsay says, “This experience taught me that my dad and my biological father both contributed to who I am. I want to encourage others to take the risk and meet the lost members of their family. I want them to fully know who they are.” “If they feel what I felt then they can know they’re not alone. I think it also defines what makes us family. Blood doesn’t define family. It is the love we share that makes us family,” he says. Overall, as the back of the book blurb says, “This is a story of accepting, forgiving, reuniting, and most importantly, it’s about the bonds that connect us and the unconditional love that makes us feel like we belong.” The Milkman’s Son is available at Deseret Book and online.

and Easter are connected. Few people have the opportunity to visit the Holy Land, so by sharing his Jewish and LDS insights, Brother Rona will bring Israel to participants. Brother Rona’s love for the Savior and the spirit of His homeland will be felt by everyone as he enthusiastically shares his knowledge, humor and warmth. The purpose of the Passover Seder dinner is to unite the Children of Judah and Joseph by bringing the Holy Land to many Latter-day Saints who may never get to visit it. Brother Rona teaches us about the land, the culture,

During the explanations of “the meal fit for a King,” Brother Rona uses scriptures and scriptural patterns to enlighten the plan our Father in Heaven has for His children. Participants will see a live video feed of Jerusalem and discover how many things point to the meridian of times, to the Savior. From ancient times through today, the Chil-
dren of Judah have looked forward to their Redeemer; today, the Children of Joseph remember their Redeemer and look forward to His imminent return. This is always a comfortable and heart-touching occasion for nonmember friends.

Prepare a muffin tin by brushing bottom and sides of each cup with melted butter. Put a teaspoon of sugar in each muffin cup and swirl around to evenly coat.
3.
Roll out croissant dough into a 1/4-inch thick, 6-inch-by-18-inch rectangle, with the long side in front of you. Brush dough with melted butter, and sprinkle sugar mixture evenly over the whole rectangle. You may have some of the mixture left over.
4.
Starting with the long side of the dough, roll rectangle into a cylinder. Cut cylinder into 1 1/2-inch discs. Fit each disc into the buttered and sugared muffin tins so that the swirl pattern is visible on top.
5.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Let rolls rise in a warm (but not hot) place for about 45 minutes. They should rise approximately to 1 1/2 times their original size. Place the muffin tin on a cookie sheet covered with parchment or foil to catch any drips while baking.
6.
Bake for about 35 minutes to an hour, depending on your oven. When done, the tops should be well browned, and the sugar melted. Remove pan from oven and immediately turn buns out onto a clean baking sheet or work surface. Place pan in sink and cover with hot water (it will be easier to clean later).
7.
Let buns set for 5 to 10 minutes, then toss in a bowl with some sugar to coat. These buns are best eaten the day they are made. If eating the next day, heat in a 350-degree oven for 5 minutes before serving.

Tartine Morning Buns – Like Eating Sunshine!
M
y husband and I took a trip to San Francisco recently. One of our reasons for going was to try as many bakeries that we could, since San Francisco is known for its many patisseries and bakeries. Our first stop was Tartine, a famous bakery with a collection of cookbooks I have baked out of many times. There we stumbled on a magical creation, the Morning Bun, a croissant rolled up with cinnamon roll filling. It was like eating sunshine. Once I got home, I made it my mission to recreate the deliciousness.
• finely grated zest of 2 medium oranges • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon • pinch salt • 4 ounces butter, melted • extra white sugar for coating muffin cups and for rolling finished buns * Crescent roll dough is not
recommended for this recipe; you need real croissant dough. There are many places online you can find a solid recipe.

“The one positive thing that will come out of that is that there will be more opportunity to offer up a second tour in the fall,” says Rinda, “after it is no longer tied to the Hill Cumorah Pageant.” Legacy of Faith Tours will be beginning their next Three Pageant Ten Day Tour in July.

Running Club Brings Physical and Mental Health to Youth
Services

he benefits of physical exercise are no mystery to most of us. We’ve heard about or experienced the rush of happy hormones felt after a good sweat that keeps us humming show tunes for hours. At the top of the list of exercises that make us feel merry is running. Running has been prescribed as a cure-all for physical or mental health issues for decades, but what about using running in a preventive way, to keep young people healthy, balanced and focused? In 2008, physical education teacher Mindy Prezor and long-distance runner Sean Astin launched a program called the RUN3rd Alliance
to accomplish just that. The RUN3rd Alliance has been teaching children to manage stress and channel energy through running using an after-school curriculum for over 12 years. Founded by Mindy and Sean in 2008, the RUN3rd Alliance encourages children to take care of themselves, set and achieve goals and serve others. The motto of the organization, “I run first for myself, second for my family, and third for you,” inspires the operations and name of the group, but most importantly, the annual Alliance 5k. The 5k raises money for the Alliance to start other groups at more schools and in more cities. The RUN3rd curriculum operates with the help of parent and

teacher volunteers. Currently there are thirteen programs operating in Mesa and one in Arkansas. The long-term benefits of this running club have been seen since its inception. The students’ feelings of empowerment after completing the 5k, the physical and mental health benefits and more all bless the lives of the students who participate in this program. Community assistance is always needed with the 5k, which will take place on March 28 this year. Anyone can register for and run in the 5k, and anyone who participates can feel proud, knowing that all proceeds go to the students who so lovingly take part in the RUN3rd Alliance. The most important way to get involved is to bring RUN3rd to more schools and more students. Parents or teachers who are interested in seeing the benefits of running in their children and students can find more information at https://run3rd5k.enmotive. com/. While some might wonder who can “run and not be weary,” it is impossible to deny the link between the state of our physical bodies and that of our spirits. The RUN3rd Alliance brings balance to the souls of children and youth, and the things they learn as they tune their hearts to the rhythm of running stay with and profit them for the rest of their lives. While some of us are unable to run, and plenty of us can’t run very fast, “it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength.” With the RUN3rd Alliance, we can all do our part to bring the blessings of running to the rising generation in our community and beyond.
